My Season of Summer

Spring or summer, spring or summer? Choosing summer would be great. I’m more mature and strive to be more than I already am. There are many reasons to why I believe that I am in my summer. Religion, grow in the grace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ… closer to God is what I’ve become. Education, pens out and books off your desk for the test... education is a major part in your life and it can really change your future. Social life, you want to go to the mall… the people you hang around are the ones who influence you. Where you are at in life doesn’t matter to many people, but to me it means a lot.
Primarily, the number on reason why I believe that I have crossed over to the summer is because of my religion. Getting to the point when I felt old enough and grown enough in my religion, I was baptized. Growing spiritually is what I felt like when I was baptized and I’m not as ignorant to my religion as I used to be. For that I feel closer to the Lord. Now I do help out in the church many times. Yet while some kids my age are going out and having fun on days that we have off from school, sometimes I would spend a couple of hours volunteering at my church. Understanding the fact that my grandmother is the pastor of my church, I feel like I have made a closer relationship with her as well as God. My grandmother and I pry with each other and we talk about church a lot also. One of the reasons why I believe that I have crossed over into my summer is because of my religion.
Education, while growing up I realized that to get somewhere you have to be somewhere. Right now I am somewhere, I am participating in an EC class called Mock Trial. Visually I am somewhere (Mock Trial), and I am trying to get somewhere (a judge in the Supreme Court). Dreams are what I follow and becoming a judge in the Supreme Court is what my dream is. Another thing is that I take my education more serious than before. Now I turn in all of my work on time, and I keep myself organized. Where as, when I was in my spring season, I was never organized and I didn’t worry that much about my schoolwork. I check my grade every once in a while so that I know where I need to improve also. People always tell me that I am worried too much about my future because I am always busy at what I am trying to be. But the truth is I am not worried about my future, I’m just trying be the best I can be.
Finally, my social views, I make sure I hang out with the right people. I used to hang out with kids that I always got in trouble with. But now, I hang out with people that have a good environment to their personality. Opportunity is more valuable, the more I stay away from trouble. Also my social life consists of someone special to me and who really does care about me. My boyfriend is really sweet to me and we are both in our summer. Handling our situations maturely is what we do and if a problem comes we know what to do. Life’s socials qualities to me kind of ties back to the story I read, “Marigoes.” The main character Lizabeth was kind of worried about the younger kids that she was hanging around. Considering the fact that she was the oldest one she was felling like she was getting too old for the pranks and jokes they used to do. Honestly, that is how I used to feel. Actually, I would hang around kids that did stupid things, but by stepping into my summer, it is not that way anymore.
In conclusion I would like to say that these are the reasons I am in my summer season and I am proud of this. Virtually, summer is a season when you are mature and you do things that make more sense. Justifying the fact that I am in my summer because of my religion, education, and my social life, I feel more secure. Due to these things I am looked at different. So, what season are you in?
